Can i Use the same code for HM version  12 too?

Is there a code to open file(.inp) location via directories specified by the user? (to take in the directory as a string and pass it on to a pointer to locate it)

Also how to enter the contents (node co ordintes, distances, and angle) into a excel sheet, whose directory is given by the user(as it changes time to time)?

To open/import file, you delete .../documents/command.cmf

import the file by menu File>Import

then turn back to open command.cmf (by notepad for example), you will see relevant commands

 

to put the contents into excel sheet, you can write it to a csv file , please refer to tcl manual online for commands: open, puts, join, close.

Sample codes appear on web very much, you can find
